IMPACTS OF EARTHQUAKES ONWATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA
OVERVIEW OF EARTHQUAKE RISK WATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS FACE DIFFERENT RISKS FROM THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF EARTHQUAKES
WATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS • Have POINT-SENSITIVE and AREA-SENSITIVE components, … • which have varying vulnerabilities when exposed to the TIME – and SPACE- DEPENDENT potential disaster agents of EARTHQUAKES.

WATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS • Vulnerability is a function of materials, age, maintenance, and the system’s exposure as a site-specific, or a spatially- distributed above-or-below-ground system.

EXAMPLES OF FAILURES (AND ALMOST FAILURES) IN PAST EARTHQUAKES
INADEQUATE SEISMIC DESIGN PROVISIONS (I.E., BUILDING CODES ) MEAN 1) INADEQUATE RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL GROUND SHAKING 2) COLLAPSE AND FAILURE OF ABOVE-GROUND SYSTEMS
UNDERGROUND PIPELINES AND DISTRIB-UTION SYSTEMS NEED PROTECTION • A UTILITY CORRIDOR IS VULNERABLE TO LOSS OF FUNCTION WHEN IT IS ROUTED THROUGH SOILS THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO LIQUEFACTION. (USA 1995)
INADEQUATE SEISMIC DESIGN PROVISIONS (I.E., WATER SYSTEM STANDARDS) AND THE ROUTING) MEAN 1) SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PERMANENT GROUND FAILURE (LIQUEFACTION, LANDSLIDES), 2) FAILURE OF BELOW-GROUND SYSTEMS
ABOVE-GROUND SYSTEMS NEED PROTECTION FROM LANDSLIDES • RESEVOIRS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO LANDSLIDES INDUCED BY EARTHQUAKES. (CHINA 2008)
AQUEDUCTS: ABOVE-GROUND SYSTEMS THAT CARRY WATER FROM “A” TO “B” • AQUEDUCTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO LANDSLIDES INDUCED BY EARTHQUAKES. (ARIZONA);
AQUEDUCTS: ABOVE-GROUND SYSTEMS THAT CARRY WATER FROM “A” TO “B” • ELEVATED AQUEDUCTS ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO GROUND SHAKING.
JAPAN 2011: ABOVE GROUND SYSTEMS NEED PROTECTION IN AN EARTHQUAKE
KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR PROTECTIVE DESIGN AND SMART ROUTING WATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
WATER RESERVOIRS, PIPELINES, AQUEDUCTS, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS • Above-ground siting makes water- reservoirs and aqueducts more vulnerable to earthquake ground shaking than the buried pipelines and distribution systems are.
EARTHQUAKE SCENARIOS A DISASTER RISK ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE FOR USE IN AN EARTHQUAKE-PRONE AREA
DESIGN SCENARIOS • Distributed Systems: The risks need to be assessed in terms of regional ground shaking and ground failure maps; --- • Non-distributed systems: Assess risks in terms of site-specific criteria.
EXAMPLE: PROBABILISTIC GROUND SHAKING HAZARD MAPSPGA: 10 % P(EXCEEDANCE) IN 50 YEARS SOURCE GLOBAL SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT PROGRAM US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
MAPS = INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE A probabilistic ground shaking hazard map integrates physical properties determined from geology, geophysics, and seismology in a consistent way to define: Seismic source zones Regional seismic wave attenuation rates
SEISMIC SOURCE ZONES AND ATTENUATION RATES Seismic Source Zones: Each zone has its own unique spatial and temporal distribution of faults, magnitudes and recurrence intervals. Regional Seismic Attenuation Rates: seismic waves decay more rapidly near a plate boundary than far from the boundary.
SESMIC SOURCES RECURRENCE ATTENUATION PROBABILITY GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT
WHAT DOES THE MAP SHOW? Each map shows relative levels of the ground shaking hazard on a small scale in terms of the mapping parameter: peak ground acceleration (and sometimes MMI).
PEAK GROUND ACCELERATION Peak ground acceleration correlates best with the short-period asymptote of the response spectrum, and is related to how a short waste water facility would respond to ground shaking.
BEST APPLICATION The maps are most useful for small-scale applications such as comparison of the relative ground shaking hazard between the end-points of a long, distributed water pipeline system.
LIMITATIONS OF MAPS The mapping parameter, peak ground acceleration, is not as good a descriptor of how the ground actually shakes as is a time history The response spectrum of a time history is an approximation of how a water system element might respond to ground shaking of a certain period.
LIMITATIONS OF THE MAPS The regional-scale peak ground acceleration maps are not appropriate for site-specific design.
LIMITATIONS OF THE MAPS Regional maps do not incorporate information on soil properties (e.g., shear wave velocity; data related to liquefaction; slope stability). Soils data require sampling and mapping on a larger scale.
